About the funniest looking man that was
lying around Washington al that time
lis6ol Was hon. Robert ]. Walker, the man
who wrote no Alaska, and did mole than
any other person 10 coax the Government
TO buy II. Walker Was an aged, bent up
and thoroughly withered specimen OF hu.
manity, not weighing 10 exceed 100 lbs,
aud showing no striking marks of intellect.
DE poxed about the streets with heavy,
gold-headed cane. drank the best brandy in
tovn and always minded his own business.
SO rigid were his views in that matter that
he told the writer 70 do the same Lning one
day when We politely attempted TO inter
view that son OF Alaska.
But as the Hon. Robert J. appeared TO
have the rheumatism, the palsy, liver
complaint, and pesishing away OF his
constitution and bylaws generally, we
found il very solacing to forgive him.
